about me

I am a full stack product marketing leader and product owner with experience ranging from the first PMM hire to sophisticated individual contributor to an engaged team leader who operates with exceptionally high level of autonomy, accountability, and transparency in both fast-paced early-stage startups, VC-backed late-stage startups, and public companies.

In my role, I have established end-to-end PMM processes, planned and executed new product launches, developed messaging and positioning, and delivered structured and scalable global sales enablement. I have developed tailored go-to-market strategy and ran large cross-functional initiatives that ensured internal launch readiness for regulated products.

I have an intimate understanding of how to drive prioritization, project management, and cross-collaboration across globally distributed teams to overcome challenges and achieve results.

I am an established culture leader with a meaningful engagement and service history. I held leadership roles at Elle@Braze, an employee resource group to advance and mentor female employees. Elle also offered a bi-annual mentorship program where I first participated as a mentee and eventually served as a mentor for multiple cohorts of women at Braze.

Additionally, I led a team for our hackathon project to build an automated tool to match mentors and mentees based on preferences and goals, one of the quarter's winning projects.

I received Torchie Value Award, an internal employee award at Braze for leading cross-functional project with Product, Sales, Customer Success, and Technical Support and doubled product revenue the following quarter.

I started meditating almost a decade ago and became a certified mindfulness meditation teacher in 2022. To continue honing my practice and share it with the audience I understand intimately - professional women - I recently completed additional 300HR mindfulness meditation teacher program co-sponsored by the UC Berkeley Greater Good Science Center and led by wonderful teachers Jack Cornfield and Tara Brach.

I am training for my second half marathon after taking up running a few years ago, and with a goal of running what must be the best marathon of earth - NYC Marathon - in 2026.

I grew up in Kyrgyzstan with a deep handcrafting culture and love making beautiful things. I primarily work with wool felt, but have been honing in my macrame skills.

I believe in the power of inter connectedness and interdependence as much as I value autonomy and ownership.
